I see the possibility of creating a Mobile screen in Method and having the tech touch (Click) the field they want the barcode to be entered into and then scanning the barcode and then having a <b>Search </b>button that would bring up the information about that item.</p> <p>-Michael&nbsp;</p>http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/thread/5079.aspxMon, 14 Feb 2011 14:57:57 GMT3393c1ec-311b-4812-96cb-ad8c611bba4f:5079John M0http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/thread/5079.aspxhttp://forums.method.me/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=5079<p>Good Morning,</p> <p>Was thinking of a idea for inventory and barcodes came to mind.&nbsp; I use to have a program that took the data, like item data, and conveted it to a barcode.&nbsp; I was wondering if this would be a issue with Method.&nbsp; </p> <p>The idea is to have a rugged PDA with barcode reader on it. When the tech needed to enter parts, they would look at a list of common items and simply scan that into method. Or when we are going to service the rodent boxes we could put a barcode on the box so when the tech comes to service it, they could barcode that box and it would bring up data about the box. </p> <p>Thanks, John M</p>
